... again? Really?
Where the hell are the true boss mechanics?
So OK, 5 caskets spawn, 5 people, cool... you miss them, you kill 1 wight maybe, decently challenging.
Then 8 or so caskets spawn and you get overrun with mobs, that paint the area red? Again this idiocy? Did I mention they hit hard too? And Val chokes you to be a standing duck for their AoEs?
Where's your missing imagination, devs?
Oh, and you get a blue drop after all this effort.
Riiiiight......

As for the loot, the t2 chest dropped a few times, but the DD chest was bugged, so we couldent open that, none of us actually. So that needs fixing. Because i aint running that instance with out DD chest.
No, but just for once I'd like there to be a dungeon with boss encounters that actually place the focus on the boss rather than other mobs.
The idea is not that the fight is easy or hard.
The idea is the fight is moronic. And again, it uses the same old mechanisms for "More red, more adds".
Nothing new, lame as it gets. A complete lack of imagination in coding a boss encounter.
Actually, Valindra uses the same abilities as she uses at the last Malabog's Castle boss fight. Chokes you, summons portals with adds, performs red lines with cleave attacks, uses aoe strike once in a couple of seconds. The only new thing is those ghosts.
Isn't this exactly what I was saying?
Nothing new, nothing imaginative.
Developer ways to design a boss encounter in NWO:
- add lame weak boss - check
- add red zones of death - check
- add dangerous adds to the encounter - check
- make as many adds as possible spawn - check - Val will start summoning 8 caskets lol
- add unfinished, dumb mechanics - check (Val AoEs people caught in hand choke; Val chokes people opening casket; wights AoE people opening casket or caught in hand)
Right.
So where the novelty? Where the imagination?
Nowhere in sight.
Yeap, just proved your point.
It wouldn't surprise me if the DD chest is broken intentionally so that the developers could see if any exploits are found that they can repair in the first patch after release , at the same time as fixing the DD chest , wouldn't want anybody farming AD afterall .
1st shot the boss both times I did it this weekend. Fight is very simple and straight forward. If you are having issues with the fight it's because you have players that don't understand basic team work.
LF *class* min 13-15k GS Valindra's Tower
I mean, are you serious?
First: if i got full equipment and 15k GS, i wouldn't need to run VT except for, may be, rotfling when i out-dps people by 5 milions
Second: i've run it with 11.5-12k GS ppl and it was fine
Third: GS does not take into account weapon and armor enchants. Do you think it's more effective a 15k GS guy with no enchants, or a 12k GS guy with vorpal and soulforged?
I wish devs could come out with a way to fight brainless elitism in PvE.
It is.. and if u have seldarine is a walk in the park, but for some is so easy that they are doing fast runs ... look in ah where everything is at half price already after 3 days
FaceRoller- regen recovery TR (put on the shelf for now) 14k GS
Supreme CHAOS - IV GF (put on the shelf for now) 16k GS
White Khalifa- tene/hp/regen CW (retired) 11k GS (tene)
Death From Above- TANK ranger 16kGS
(all halfling everything)
Proud rank 6 of: <Enemy Team>

I'll reply to you by quoting a post of mine from previous page:
BTW, did you run with a party with perfects and rank 7-10s, epic artifacts, companions etc.? Or did you went in with 10500 GS randoms?
Lowest GS was 13k. All of my friends are experienced players and GS doesn't really matter when you know how to stay out of red and click on caskets.
I cannot agree
No pro gear, enchants etc., you can be the most skilled casket-clicker ever, you won't kill Val at 10500 GS.
The issue however is not difficulty, but lack of imagination and overall lame&lazy design, with more of the "red zones, crazy adds, weak boss" pseudobosses.
